Provide static VC/VN for f-droid #210

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Hi,

with 1.9.2 a dynamic generated VC/VN was introduced:

https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/blob/v1.9.2/app/calendar-widget/build.gradle#L28-L29

This makes it hard to detect new versions at f-droid as discussed here:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/322#note_2483736

It would be great if you could provide a static VC/VN again, maybe on a f-droid gradle flavor.

Pretty please, is possible do something about it?

Calendar Widget is my favorite one.

@ghost @okias Currently I think that agreeing on some tag names scheme is the simplest way to communicate:

E.g. since 2019 the renamed "ToDo Agenda" widget has such version names: 3.0.8-523 and version code: 523

We could think about such tag scheme: \<version name>-c\<version code>-release e.g.: 3.0.8-523-c523-release

"-c" designates version code... "-release" - distinguishes from betas, ets. See also #320

?!

I thought about this once again: Manually typed version numbers belong to the past, and are replaced with version numbers, generated on the fly during app build. This is common for the whole software industry.

This means that in order to sustain F-Droid needs to be updated to handle such cases.

Creation of F-Droid specific build doesn't look reliable: such build will be unreliable, because nobody tests it before F-Droid release. Moreover, recently we already found one such problem, specific to F-Droid custom build: #340

@ghost @okias At last I switched to static version name and number. But the problem is that for the last 4 months I simply cannot merge my merge request to F-Droid data repo. Please help and follow up here: https://github.com/andstatus/todoagenda/issues/31
